This award provides support for the purchase of an automated ion analyzer with flow injection analysis capability. The instrument will expand the analytical capabilities of the Laboratory for Environmental Chemistry (LEC) at New Mexico State University, where it will be available for use by faculty and students from a number of colleges and universities in New Mexico. The LEC is a multi-user, multi-institution facility that facilitates environmental research and plays an important part in the research training of graduate and undergraduate students in environmental chemistry. Among other expected uses, the analyzer will be used to examine biogeochemical transfers in the Chihuahuan Desert ecosystem, including studies conducted at the Jornada Long Term Ecological Research site, and to examine the interactions of plants and endophytic fungi. Such fungi are thought to play key roles in ecosystem functions, in plant nutritional and community ecology, and in mediating plant-herbivore interactions.

该奖项为使用流量注射分析能力购买自动离子分析仪提供了支持。该工具将扩大新墨西哥州立大学环境化学实验室（LEC）的分析能力，在那里它将被新墨西哥州许多学院和大学的教职员工和学生使用。 LEC是一种多用户，多机构的设施，可促进环境研究，并在对环境化学研究生和本科生的研究培训中起重要作用。除其他预期用途外，该分析仪将用于检查奇瓦瓦沙漠生态系统中的生物地球化学转移，包括在Jornada长期生态研究地点进行的研究，并检查植物和内生真菌的相互作用。 人们认为这种真菌在生态系统功能，植物营养和社区生态学以及介导植物 - 动物相互作用中起关键作用。
